There isn’t an owner anywhere in the world of sports who has had nearly as much success as Stan Kroenke in the last two years. In fact, there may not be an owner who’s won as many championships across four sports leagues in such a short period of time – ever.
With the Denver Nuggets winning the NBA Finals on Monday night, beating the Miami Heat in 5 games, they become the latest team owned by Kroenke to win a championship. It’s an incredible stretch that now includes four titles in a span of 16 months.
The Los Angeles Rams won Super Bowl LVI on Feb. 13, 2022
The Colorado Mammoth won the NLL Championship four months later on June 18, 2022.
The Colorado Avalanche won the Stanley Cup just over a week later on June 26, 2022.
And now the Nuggets have won an NBA title, the franchise’s first ever, clinching their championship on June 12, 2023.
“It’s like having children: You love them all,” Kroenke said after the Nuggets’ win, via the Associated Press. “It’s unbelievably exciting. I’m just so happy for everybody involved, particularly the city, which for 47 years they never had this.”
Kroenke is the chairman and CEO of Kroenke Sports & Entertainment, which owns the four teams listed above, as well as Arsenal, the Colorado Rapids and others. Needless to say, his company is doing very well right now, with each championship likely increasing the value of those four franchises.
Kroenke doesn’t own an MLB team, so he won’t be able to check that box off, but his teams have had a lot of hardware to display as of late.
